ku_rluv0zybv8_bllv6w9o6_1024x10242xAt this months meeting we will have a presentation on 3D printing. Several club members have developed an interest in this in recent weeks and purchased new (and inexpensive) 3D printers. These printers are great for printing almost anything! Several members have printed items for amateur radio and a few are already into 3D modeling using 3D Cad programs. There are many resources on the internet for learning and lots of tutorials on YouTube. If you are not into designing your own 3D models, there are well over a million drawings available for download, ready for printing!

We’ll be bringing samples of our efforts to show and and have a slide presentation. Have you ever needed a knob for a radio or a special part for something? Print it! Come to the meeting and we’ll show you how easy it is to get started.

We had another informative net tonight with 12 check-ins plus net control, Frank – K6FLD. Note: Eric, KG6WXC was gracious enough to check in from his vacation in Hawaii tonight, thanks Eric!

Tonight’s subjects included:

  • ICOM IC754 sounds muffled on all bands.
  • ICOM IC745 doesn’t transmit on AM, should I make the suggested mod/s to do so?
  • MFJ 649E Antenna tuner antenna switch doesn’t work, any suggestions?
  • Multi-band dipole antenna only about 10 ft off the ground, how might that be affecting my RX and TX signal?

Tune in to the SBARC TM&E Net every Thursday at 8:00 PM local (2000 Hrs) and see what interesting questions will arise or ask some of your own! All club members and visitors are encouraged to check in to the net each week and join in with questions and /or answers and contribute the knowledge of new and seasoned amateur radio operators alike.
